Steve Nash is rolling along for the Phoenix Suns this season

Blogged under Bloglockers, Steppin Up, Front Page, Uncategorized by alleyoop on Thursday 10 January 2008 at 10:32 pm

Steve Nash is showing no signs of slowing down for the Suns despite his advancing age. He has played in 35 games so far this season and he is averaging 34.1 minutes, 16.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 12.0 assists per game. He also has really been shooting the basketball well from everywhere on the court. Nash is hitting 50.9% from the floor, 45.6% from three point range and 89.2% from the free throw line. Steve Nash is the only player on the Suns that probably couldn’t be replaced so they need to keep him healthy the rest of the season.

Amare Stoudemire has been awesome so far in December for the Phoenix Suns

Amare Stoudemire has been outstanding so far in December for the Suns. In 6 games this month he has averaged 35.0 minutes, 26.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 blocks per game. He also is shooting 69.2% from the floor which is downright outstanding. I see no reason to think that Stoudemire won’t keep playing at a very high level as he can really run the floor as a big man.

Grant Hill is fitting in well on the Phoenix Suns

Blogged under Bloglockers, Steppin Up, Front Page by alleyoop on Thursday 29 November 2007 at 8:54 pm

Grant Hill has played very well for the Suns this season as he seems to fit in perfectly. Hill has played in 15 games this season for the Suns and he’s averaging 35.1 minutes, 14.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.1 steals per game. Hill’s athletic ability getting up and down the court and his passing ability make him the perfect complement to the big time players on the Suns.

Amare Stoudemire has an awesome season for the Phoenix Suns

Amare Stoudemire bounced back from his serious knee injury in a big way last season.  He played in all 82 games and he averaged 32.8 minutes, 20.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.3 blocks per game.  He also shot well as he hit 57.5% of his shots (most of them at close range) from the floor and 78.1% from the free throw line.  Stoudemire had a fantastic season and he should be better next year.

Stoudemire’s career numbers improved almost all the way across the board after the season he had.  In 302 career games, Stoudemire has averaged 33.9 minutes, 19.9 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.3 blocks per game.  His shooting numbers improved a little bit too as he now has hit 52.7% of his shots from the floor and 72.7% from the free throw line.  Look for Stoudemire’s numbers to continue to improve.

Leandro Barbosa is on fire as of late for the Phoenix Suns

Blogged under Bloglockers, Steppin Up, Front Page by alleyoop on Tuesday 10 April 2007 at 11:03 pm

The last two weeks Leandro Barbosa has been on fire for the Suns.  In his last 7 games (3 starts) he’s averaging 22.9 points, 2.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game.  He’s also hit 23 of 45 (51.1%) from three-point range in those games.  He’s almost becoming a go-to player, but that’s not the way the Suns operate.
